I was 11 at the time, so I don't. But now as a senior in college running CC for the last time. I would be curious to see what people remember, and how it affected American distance running.

I was just out of college, but I also remember at that time he wasn't really "accepted" as an American. He hadn't won NYC or Boston, so he was relatively unknown to most. He was the AR holder at the time for the 10,000m and was more of a track guy, thus guys thought he was more African than American. I remember his interviews wishing he would be more accepted.

Well isn't Meb all African? They don't perform a DNA cleansing when you immigrate.
I remember it well. I had met Meb on several occasions and knew a lot of folks that were assisting him and Deena in preparing for their respective marathons.
It was a great Olympics for American marathoners. Showed that while the US might not produce the fastest marathoners, we produced marathoners that could win under tough conditions. Also showed the value is good planning from cooling vests to acclimation to nutrition.
